This all seems extremely odd.

 

How could there have been plans for a vote on 17 January if there was a requirement for a resolution with 14 days notice following the last meeting on 4 January?

 

Did someone forget that there was such a requirement?

 

Did Steven Thompson just point this out to them?

 

Or was there never going to be a vote on the 17th?

 

Why didn't members of the steering group propose the necessary resolution with the required notice following the meeting on the 4th?

 

Perhaps because they knew it was doomed to fail?

 

In any event are Dundee Utd and others using this as a means to rest better terms on the TV money from the OF?

Maybe the SPL have had a rethink and come to the conclusion that popular opinion is actually important? Then again, perhaps not....

It would be nice to think so and Thompson was pushing the fans views in his interview with Spence last week (as were the DJ and others on Clyde), although I did have a concern that he was just using the survey for his own ends.

Sounds a bit like the last zimbabwean election. Corrupt, contrived and a mess

Unless I'm missing something is that not what they're trying to avoid by scrapping the vote
